Mid Wicket Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 RIP Johnny Probably best remembered as part of the 66 Cup final team and that tremendous run of playing every game away to get there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post @owlstalk Posted September 20, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2020 I knew Johnny well. He was my landlord as I rented the flat above the sports shop on Middlewood Road Johnny and Gerry Young would be in the shop all day and I'd nip down with a cup of coffee for a chat about all things Wednesday One thing I'll remember Johnny for the most though is that he was ALWAYS smiling I've never once spent time with Johnny Quinn where he wasn't grinning, smiling and happy. He was also a very calm, very chilled man who was just really really nice bloke. The fact that Johnny and is lifelong pal Gerry have passed within a few days of each other is fitting too. Two blokes who were inseperable. RIP JOHNNY 24 40 5 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken52 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Oh no, so soon after his big mate Gerry. Rest in peace Quinny, a top top bloke who raised a lot for local good causes with his John Quinn's All-stars. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made me feel like I was a professional footballer making an important decision to help get the boots that suited me. Sad news.

damianb1 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Way before my time but clearly a club legend as well as a thoroughly decent human being. RIP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerwyldesmullet Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 By combining Wednesday, a great player and Bob Dylan’s music, that song was probably my favourite terrace chant growing up. RIP Mighty Quinn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly the shop on middle wood road was Johnny Quinn sports and jerry Young trophies. Proper sports shop. I used to get shirt numbers printed there and trophies engraved. Not to mention my crafty cockney dart flights. Good memories. Never saw either of them play though . RIP.
